Hey all,
Recently, I had an issue with the SD card in my skyrocket. Phone will get stuck at custom boot screen for a while. After finally booting, I noticed I had to reinstall some apps...not all.
Anyways,
Right after this happened, I noticed that I could no longer perform a clockwork mod backup as I have done with no issues. It gets stuck randomly during the system files backup state. What can I do to fix this?
I have tried many things, including fix per, flash new cwm version and format new card and copy over all files previously other. Nothing seems to work.
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks

I would flash back to stock reload the whole initial bootloader and stock recovery then go and redo the actual superuser then put on the custom recovery try TWRP or you can try cwm again nothing against skaters CWM twrp is just easier for me
Ahh, was not familiar with twrp and have always used cwm. However, after your reply and downloading and flashing it, I must say I love the GUI and ease of use.
Anyways,
I flashed it and did perform a backup. While I did get two errors, it did actually complete and I believe it did save data to this SD card. Should I worry about the errors though?
What's the difference between this from recovery tool and cwm? Still can't get cwm to backup after that SD card issue.
Thank you much for quick reply

if your not having issue with twrp then i wouldnt worry there has been alot people that said thta sk8ters recovery was giving issues never personally had any trouble when i used maybe just bad recovery.. sometimes thing act wonkie for no reason
Thanks...
Should I worry about the two errors even if it did complete?
Also, how do you restore?
I tested by booting to twrp and hit the restore button. I browsed to directory on SD card where backup is but not sure what file to chose?
Thanks again...

I don't use twrp but shouldn't the backup be named after the time/date it was created. If that's true then you should know which backup to choose by looking at the time/date.
I'm thinking the folders for the failed backups are also there..

Hi, I was using Paul Burtons ICS port and I made a backup of my Prime rom . However when I booted back to CWM and restored the NAND backup it says succesful yet when I reboot, the screen stays black after the transformer splashscreen/logo.. I tried erasing all data and factory reset and searched and checked the original thread... I can however go back to the ics port and successfully boot up to it... any help would be greatly appreciated.. thank you XDA.
goodness ya noob.. you shouldn't have flashed that ics port.. it was extremely experimental. Anyways seeing that you tried everything I would have, Im sorry to say that i can't help but I applaud you for at least searching and checking the original thread. LOL.

wipe /syste /data /cache... basically everything in CWM possible, then re-flash the Prime or whatever you want
I did the same thing as op. But when I try restoring I get an error saying .android_secure.img is missing. Any ideas?

Im back at stock and i still cant restore. Its the .android_secure.img. its missing from my sd card
i had the same problem i did the wipes in cwm and then restored and got a black screen as you describe.
then i grabbed superwipe from revolution rom(i dnt kno if its neccessary but it worked) from black screen i boot into cwm ran superwipe loaded my rom which is revolver right from the rom flashable zip as a new install. then rebooted and back into cwm then restored my backup. not sure whats goin on or why it worked it may be overkill but i got back to my backup.
if you need better explaination just ask
So i would use super wipe lite or the normal one?

Use Super wipe lite if you want to keep SD card contents, but try the methods listed above before trying the latter .

Went to flash an updated Rom on my ATT One X. Been using CWM recovery.
Reboot into recovery, wipe/factory reset.
Go to find the file, SDCard is almost completely gone/items deleted.
I load up TWRP, mount the SDCard, nothing, all gone. So I just format the SDCard, copy the new Rom over to the SDCard root.
Reboot into recovery. Try to install, when I select it in TWRP, swipe, it sits, then just reboots the app and goes back to the main screen.
At a loss right now, phone apparently soft bricked. Maybe bad Rom zip?
Rooted/Unlocked of course, been working fine the past week. Only had the phone 1 week.
Ideas? Help..haha...
Easy, except you gonna have to reunlock boot loader.you can't boot into fast boot OEM relock bootloader and run ruu. You could also try using fast boot to flash something.

Or it might be a case of twrp going bad. Fast boot flash recovery img and boot back into recovery.

It was clockwork I was using at the time.
Everytime I rebooted into recovery and selected the file to install, more stuff was missing.
I'm wondering if the SDCard got corrupt, recovery went crazy and wiped etc...or bad Rom.
Redownloaded Rom.
Reformatted SDCard for good measure since it was all pretty much gone.
Flashed TWRP back as the recovery.
Installing the Rom now. CleanRom 4.1SE.
But...all my Sh&t is gone off the SDCard. Backups, photos etc...buh-bye forever.
Side note, my camera lens area on the phone has been getting hot. Not sure where the processor is located on this phone, maybe it is just doing that while trying to install Rom and CPU is running a little hot and normal?

Cwm has been known to have instability which is why almost everyone suggests using twrp, which is officially supported.

Ok. I noticed it was nowhere near as complete and slick at say 4EXT recovery on my Inspire and suspected some weirdness was going on.
Back on TWRP now and seems to be installing the new Rom I just downloaded again.
Rebooting now...guess I should start copying my SDCard to my computer
Go to cnet.com and download recuva. Do a deep scam and it will recover most of your stuff.. worked for me.. do it on your computer.

Ok, cool, will give it a look.
The CleanRom thread blew up, apparently me and bunch of others had this happen using CWM and the latest build....
All working again, now if I can recovery some stuff, like the photos I had, that would be nice.
Appreciate the replies and help.
Edit: recuva didn't find anything useful. SDCard was blasted for good somehow.

scrosler warned very clearly (even before the latest 4.1 build) not to use CWM. Why so many people chose to ignore him, I have no idea. For some reason the SD card wipe issue was much worse on CleanROM 4.1 than previous versions (and other ROMs).
Take note that the SD wipe issue has also happened on TWRP. Safest approach is to backup SD data to your desktop computer before flashing anything. In particular, your Titanium folder and anything not easily replaceable (photos, etc.). Its a bit of an annoyance to have to do this whenever you want to flash something. But until the cause of the issue is found and fixed, this is the safest way.
Not sure why everyone is blaming the Recovery's for loosing pictures and stuff from there internal SD card. Same thing happened to me with my HTC Touch Diamond, We all came to the conclusion it was from so much flashing. I have used both recovery's and lost pictures and My Documents. Just my 2cents worth.
Is there a tutorial somewhere showing how to switch from CWM to TWRP?

Doload goo manager and use it to install recovery. Or you can go to twrp dev thread directions are there.

I wiped the internal and did a factory reset and the phone hangs at the boot startup animation. What do I do to get it to boot up?
running sky ics with twrp. I can get it into twrp no problem but it looks like the backups are gone unless they are on the external sd that i removed which is the only thing I havent looked at yet. I did all this because I sold the phone and needed to wipe everything.
Thanks!
So no help huh?
Update. I put my old sd card in and there are some backups but they are cwm and not twrp. Any way to flash cwm back??
I may just dl sky ics onto my card using my note plug the card back in the skyrocket and install

so here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808433 flash this in TWRP and reboot recovery you will be back on CWM where you will find your backups and you will be able to restore your Rom
You are the man and that will be the first thing I try after I try flashing the ROM back on through recovery. If it doesn't work then I'm definitely gonna use the backup through CWM
Update: I got it all fixed by flashing the ROM again through TWRP! I just had to download it on my way there phone and then put the card into the sky rocket

I've had my Photon Q for 4 days. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM, and rooted using instructions in this forum and everything was working great. I had not flashed any other mods.
I bricked it today by accidentally formatting the internal SD card instead of the external one. It would only reboot into recovery (CWM) and I couldn't mount the internal SDcard from CWM. After reading several threads here I managed to get into Fastboot Mode and flash TWRP, Then, I downloaded the back-up system and boot files posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34555560&postcount=11
and placed them in the TWRP back-up folder on my external SD card as instructed.
When I try to restore from this backup I get an md5 match failure. I also tried moving the backup to the internal SDcard using the file manager in TWRP and got the same result.
Also, TWRP (2.3.3.0) isn't playing nice on my device. All the functions seem to work, but It displays the menus twice in side by side columns, though the touch controls are where they are supposed to be.
Any suggestions?
Don't use the latest TWRP. I need to get with Dees_Troy to sort out what happened with the latest version.
Edit - I think 2.3.1.0 is the latest version that works.
Wow, sounds really familiar. I did the same exact thing. Took me forever to figure out how to fix it. Have you gotten twrp back on?

TWRP is sorted, still having trouble getting the restore to take. I'll post again if I get it figured out
every time I try to create a backup through recovery, its never successful. either it would get stuck at backing up system (or at backing up data) or it would give me an error message asking if I want to report it through ROM manager. I realized that it would get stuck at system (and/or at data) because the partitions weren't mounted. I've tried to remount them through recovery and through various file managing apps, but nothing seemed to work. I've been getting the "failed to mount /system (or /data)” message. what the hell is up with my phone?!
I'm using clockworks 6.0.4.3

where did you get 6.0.4.3
rom manager?, are you doing from recovery or rom manager, if doing it from rom manager dont use rom manager for anything related to recovery.
are cards full?
I believe so. I've tried backing up through both recovery and rom manager but nada. the last time I was able to successfully complete a backup was about a month ago when I unsuccessfully flashed slimkat and flashed slimbean right after. but ever since then it hasn't allowed me to. im also wondering why im unable to mount /system and /data partitions. I was thinking I should revert back to stock and start all over again....but would that even fix anything?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
There are only 2 recoveries I'm aware of capable of flashing any 4.4 ROM.
As for backup and restore depends on what Roms you're trying to backup.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
so the fact that my phone isn't mounting /system and /data has nothing to do with why I can't create a backup? restoring a backup isn't an issue, being able to make a backup for future restoration is. lol. and i checked my SD cards, they aren't full, so that's not the error I'm receiving. idk. I'm stumped.
